Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.

home inspector missed major defect. I've been dealing with this for about 13 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already done some research online but got conflicting advice.

Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?

I specialize in this area of law. Here's my take on the legal issues.

This is a common situation and the law is fairly clear. Under the relevant statute, actionable.

The practical consideration here is cost vs. potential recovery. For disputes under $10K, small claims court is often the best route.

This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

What worked for me was filing with the appropriate government agency. It took 4-8 months but was worth it.
